does anyone know how to get results like this?



http://www.superbrightleds.com....html

im guessing from that page you order 5 "WLED Miniature Wedge Base bulbs" which are the first ones on the page. and is that how i also get it to glow under the needle like it does in that pic? lemme know!

http://www.importintelligence.com/inneki.html ... I had these; there's some modification you have to do. I changed back to stock after less than a year with them. Personal preference, that's all. As for the LED replacements for the dash bulbs, I'll probably do that simply for the brightness.

There's lots of info out there. the 5 wide angle led bulbs will work great. you only need 3 of them for the cluster.

Check zilvia too for led cluster bulbs. Write-ups are out there.good thread too:zerothread?id=456307

alright i swear all the threads i look at im not 100% clear on what to do

ok so i have DOHC CLUSTER, looks like i need five 5x wideangle 194 led's, but i saw that you can't use the 5th led on the gas light cuz it will stay on? well does that mean i have to convert 3/4's of my cluster to led and leave the gas part a normal bulb?

Mine look very similar to the pic you posted, notice how the lighting isn't uniform. It's close, but there are some dull spots. I ordered from superbrightleds, I don't remember what kind. And yeah you only need three. You should also order a led bulb for the digital clock because the stock bulb looks out of place now on mine and it bugs me. I forgot the size for that bulb, I found it somewhere online before.
